Getting the Most from Your PC with Sennheiser PC150

It is hard to believe that Sennheiser has been around for over 60 years making top-notch headphones but they have. In that time, they have become one of the best manufacturers of audio equipment and continue to be. The PC150 is actually geared to the gamer and this set is going to be put to the test because gamers are critical to products that just do not get the job done. Read further and see if these pass the test or get shot down by poor performance.

One of the biggest selling points for most people will be they do have a lower price than there cousin the PC165's which by the way was a very good product from Sennheiser. Looking at the Sennheiser PC150, they do look similar and we would expect much of the same performance was probably put into them as well. Video games are predicated on great sounds and action and that was the first test we were going to put these through. With today's technology video games seem to have music and sounds that will really put headphones to the test. These produce crisp sounds with no problems at all. It really did not matter what game we play throughout the spectrum of volumes it seem to do a very good job which really was not a surprise since it was a Sennheiser stereo headphone anyway. The next thing up is how well it would handle a variety of music. We know that it seems to handle video games, but what if we wanted to us it for other applications. How will it be able to handle it? Let us take a look and see what it can do.

I decided that we would try a variety of music from blues to rap and country so we could see how well it would sound going through all three of these genres. Well it did a very good job handling the music and giving us earthly tones and good and mid level sounds through the music spectrum. Sometimes computer headphones breakdown, but these seem to be able to handle it with little problems at all. High quality sound reproduction is what you will get from these and that is another quality that you can trace back to Sennheiser, as they do know what they are doing. Comfort is another thing that gamers worry a lot about as they can sit for hours in front of a computer playing their favorite game without any type of a break. This model felt very comfortable and I really had no problem with the time I wore them. Soft ear pods helps make these feel great and most people I think will be surprise at how comfortable they really are.

The only real drawback that I have seen so far is a flimsy thin cable. I wish it was a little thicker and better made, but it works fine and does an excellent job. I am just so use to the regular cable that most of these headphones come with this was a shock departure for me. Like I said it works fine and gave me no trouble.

In today's world of gaming one thing that they want is a noise canceling microphone so they can interact against other players online. This is built in to the Sennheiser PC150 and works extremely well. An inline volume controller with on/off microphone switch is a nice added touch as well. Most people will compare these to the PC165, which really is not fair, but the comparison will happen. The 165's will set you back more and do have some added features, but these will do the job for the gamer who wants an inexpensive set of headphones that will perform year after year. Most gamers are in the need of some low cost alternatives and this one will fit that mode.

Overall, we must give them our approval as they work well and they are comfortable to wear for long-time use. It today's worlds it is getting tougher to find a lower price set of headphones for your gaming needs. Luckily for gamers along came the Sennheiser PC150 and they have an alternative to other models that usually cost a lot more. Now if you are not a gamer do not let that stop you from purchasing these either. These work well for anyone who is on the computer for long hours listening to music, pod casts or just doing business. Once you try these, you will see why the PC150 is something that you should have around even if it is only for casual use.
